Semantic memory and the neural representation of concepts. Spoken word recognition and language processing. The neural basis of language.

Research Synopsis:

The goal of much of the research in my lab is to understand how meaning is represented (how do you know what a lemon, or joy is?)—particularly the cognitive and neural representations of concepts. An area of particular interest is the relationship between context (e.g., perceptual information and experiences) and language and/or conceptual processing. I also have interests in spoken word recognition and language processing more broadly.
